Abstract:
Body piercing has been practiced for many centuries and is thought to have its origins in the Hindu religion. As traditional ear piercings have given way to more adventurous anatomical sites, so too have the associated complications of these practices. We present the case of a 35 year old man who presented 12 months after a penile piercing with an extensive fistula of the glans penis resembling an acquired glanular hypospadius.
